Frequently Asked Questions
What did Curtis Mead hit after being traded to the White Sox?
Mead slashed .240/.280/.304 across 41 games and 132 plate appearances with the White Sox following the trade. He performed slightly better this spring but it wasn't enough to make the Opening Day roster.
Who else did the White Sox get in the Adrian Houser trade besides Curtis Mead?
The White Sox also received right-handed pitchers Duncan Davitt and Ben Peoples in the trade. Both players will likely start the season in Triple-A Charlotte as depth options.
How did Adrian Houser perform with the Rays after the trade?
Houser put up a mediocre 4.79 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in ten starts with Tampa Bay after being traded. This was a significant drop-off from his dominant performance in 11 starts with the White Sox before the trade.
Why didn't Curtis Mead make the White Sox Opening Day roster?
Mead's poor offensive performance and redundant skill set worked against him. With Lenyn Sosa locked in as the right-handed-hitting infielder based on his improvements last season, the White Sox only needed one of them and chose Sosa.
Is there any hope left from the Adrian Houser trade for the White Sox?
Duncan Davitt could see time with the White Sox later in 2026 if he performs well. Despite a 5.03 ERA in nine starts, he recorded a solid 1.30 WHIP and struck out 45 batters in 48.1 innings at Triple-A.
